¹It happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it around it.

¹Zgodi se pa v devetem letu kraljevanja njegovega, deseti dan desetega meseca, da pride Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski, in vsa vojska njegova zoper Jeruzalem in se utabori proti njemu. In naredili so obležne ogradbe okrog njega.

²So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

²In mesto je bilo oblegano do enajstega leta kralja Zedekija.

³On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

³Deveti dan četrtega meseca je bila huda lakota v mestu, in ni bilo kruha za ljudstvo dežele.

⁴Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city around it); and the king went by the way of the Arabah.

⁴Tedaj je bilo mesto predrto, in vsi vojščaki so pobegnili po noči skozi vrata med dvojnim zidom, ki so bila poleg kraljevega vrta (Kaldejci pa so oblegali mesto kroginkrog); in kralj je šel po poti proti nižini.

⁵But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

⁵Ali vojska Kaldejcev se drevi za kraljem in ga dohiti na planjavah ob Jerihu; vsa vojska njegova pa se je bila razkropila od njega.

⁶Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment on him.

⁶Tedaj ujamejo kralja ter ga pripeljejo gori h kralju babilonskemu v Riblo; in izrekli so sodbo nad njim.

⁷They killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

⁷In poklali so sinove Zedekijeve njemu pred očmi, potem so mu oslepili oči ter ga zvezali z dvema bronastima verigama in ga odpeljali na Babilonsko.

⁸Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem.

⁸Potem pride sedmi dan petega meseca, ko je bilo devetnajsto leto kralja Nebukadnezarja, kralja babilonskega, Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže, služabnik kralja babilonskega, v Jeruzalem,

⁹He burnt the house of Yahweh, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire.

⁹in požge hišo GOSPODOVO in hišo kraljevo in vse hiše v Jeruzalemu, namreč vsako večjo hišo požge z ognjem.

¹⁰All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem.

¹⁰In vsa vojska Kaldejcev, kar je je bilo z glavarjem straže, poruši zidove jeruzalemske okroginokrog.

¹¹Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.

¹¹Preostanek ljudstva pa, kar ga je ostalo v mestu, in uskoke, ki so odpadli h kralju babilonskemu, in ostanek množice odpelje ujete Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže.

¹²But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.

¹²Samo iz najubožnejših ljudstva jih je pustil ondi glavar straže, da naj bodo vinogradniki in kmetovalci.

¹³The Chaldeans broke up the pillars of brass that were in the house of Yahweh and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh, and carried the brass pieces to Babylon.

¹³In bronasta stebra, ki sta bila v hiši GOSPODOVI, in stojala in bronasto morje, ki je bilo v hiši GOSPODOVI, so razbili Kaldejci ter odnesli njih bron v Babilon.

¹⁴They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.

¹⁴Tako tudi lonce, lopate, utrinjače in torila in vse bronasto orodje, s katerim se je opravljala služba, so odnesli.

¹⁵The captain of the guard took away the fire pans, the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.

¹⁵Tudi ponve in čaše, kar je bilo od zlata, v zlatu, kar od srebra, v srebru je vzel glavar telesne straže.

¹⁶The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

¹⁶Tista dva stebra, eno morje in stojala, ki jih je bil napravil Salomon za hišo GOSPODOVO; tehtati ni bilo mogoče brona od vseh teh priprav.

¹⁷The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was on it; and the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital around it, all of brass: and like to these had the second pillar with network.

¹⁷Višina enega stebra je bila osemnajst komolcev in glavič na njem je bil iz brona, in višina glaviča je bila tri komolce z mrežastim delom in granatnimi jabolki na glaviču kroginkrog, vse iz brona; in enako tem je imel drugi steber na glaviču.

¹⁸The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:

¹⁸In glavar telesne straže je vzel Seraja, prvega duhovnika, in Zefanija, drugega duhovnika, in tri čuvaje pri vratih;

¹⁹and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the city.

¹⁹iz mesta pa je vzel enega dvornika, ki je bil postavljen nad vojščaki, in pet mož izmed tistih, ki so bili kralju najbližji in so se našli v mestu, in pisarja, vojnega poveljnika, ki je nabiral vojsko iz deželnega ljudstva, in šestdeset mož iz deželnega ljudstva, ki so se našli v mestu:

²⁰Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

²⁰te je vzel Nebuzaradan, glavar telesne straže, ter jih odpeljal h kralju babilonskemu v Riblo.

²¹The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

²¹In kralj babilonski jih je udaril in usmrtil v Ribli, v Hamatski deželi. Tako je bil Juda preseljen v ujetništvo iz dežele svoje.

²²As for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.

²²Kar se pa tiče ljudstva, ki je ostalo v deželi Judovi, kar ga je pustil ondi Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski, nad tem je postavil Gedalija, sina Ahikama, sinu Safanovega.

²³Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

²³Ko so pa slišali vsi poveljniki trum, oni in njih možje, da je kralj babilonski postavil za namestnika Gedalija, pridejo v Micpo h Gedaliju, zlasti Izmael, sin Netanijev, in Johanan, sin Kareahov, in Seraja, sin Tanhumeta Netofatčana, in Jazanija, sin Maakatijev, oni s svojimi možmi.

²⁴Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, “Don’t be afraid because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”

²⁴In Gedalija priseže njim in njih možem ter jim reče: Ne bojte se hlapcev Kaldejcev; ostanite v deželi in služite kralju babilonskemu, tako vam bode dobro.

²⁵But it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.

²⁵Zgodi se pa sedmega meseca, da pride Izmael, sin Netanijev, sinu Elisamovega, iz kraljevega roda, in ž njim deset mož, in udarijo Gedalija, da umrje, tudi Jude in Kaldejce, ki so bili ž njim v Micpi.

²⁶All the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.

²⁶In vse ljudstvo, malo in veliko, in poveljniki trum vstanejo ter odidejo v Egipt; bali so se namreč Kaldejcev.

²⁷It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

²⁷Zgodi se pa v tridesetem in sedmem letu ujetništva Jojahinovega, kralja Judovega, dvanajsti mesec, sedemindvajseti dan meseca, da je Evil Merodah, kralj babilonski, v letu, ko je začel kraljevati, povišal glavo Jojahina, kralja Judovega, izpeljavši ga iz ječe.

²⁸and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,

²⁸In govoril je prijazno ž njim in prestol njegov je postavil nad prestol kraljev, ki so bili ž njim v Babilonu.

²⁹and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:

²⁹In premenil mu je jetniško obleko; in je jedel kruh pred kraljem vedno, vse dni življenja svojega.Kajti živež njegov, stalen živež mu je dajal kralj, odmerjen za vsak dan, vse dni njegovega življenja.

³⁰and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.

³⁰Kajti živež njegov, stalen živež mu je dajal kralj, odmerjen za vsak dan, vse dni njegovega življenja.
